THey definetely try. And they do it good. But they don't succeed. I am proud to say I've had no viruses for a year or so. After a good lesson or two I got myself a good protection, and feel very lucky every time I download my e-mail and see a red pop-up window, saying "Virus detected!". For how long will I be safe? Don't know. Hope, for a long time. You all know it happens quickly and without prior confirmation...

Hmm, I haven't scanned my computer for months. Ad-Ware and Viruses. So I scanned it just the other day. Here's what I found.

29 Ad-Ware (after months of not scanning? Wow)
And
3 Trojans(clickers and downloaders)

All were deleted, nothing happened. It's because I don't use stupid programs on my computer that I know will give me viruses *cough*kazaa*cough*.

I dont have any viruses on my computer and the reason for that is i use my computer wisely.
I have TrendMicro Internet Security 2005(fully updated) and i dont open any suspicious files. I have the firewall on highest security level and also use winpatrol so that i can keep a check on the startup items.
To be safe from spywares and viruses i also use host file from MVPS, and also i use spyware blaster which makes sure that no spywares sneeks in to my computer even if i am using Internet explorer.

I had a virus that disabled norton, and 137 Viruses got in, and my CPU was crippled, I installed Avast, and amazingly my CPU lived to tell the tale. Now, I get very few, about 1 a month maybe

I have gotten none. I have gotten trojans and other malicious things, and some spyware, but in 9 years of using a computer I can safely say that I haven't gotten one.

Then again, my dad was very paranoid when we didn't have Norton and didn't let me download anything until I was 10 O-o

I have only one. Its named IrcContact. My AV micro cilin can't remove it.

i know the virus because i once compile it. But now i can't remove it. I have searching local key on register but no luck

Backdoor.IrcContact is a Backdoor Trojan horse that gives an attacker unauthorized access to an infected computer. By default, it opens port 6667 on an infected computer. Backdoor.IrcContact is packed using ASPack v2.12.

None. (Hopefully it doesn't change) I used to have a few trojans and some Adware, but they're all gone now. (Whew)

I had 3-5 viruses in my entire life since I started use internet.
One of the viruses was very sly and officious I don't know how did I get it.
This virus calls miceA or the like. It change some exe files and when I tryed to run program i allways get three report windows dialog, program icons look very ugly and if fix exe I must copy it from temp folder. When I used free AVG antivirus program this virus never was found but since I started use NOD32 antivirus system (cracked ) virus was found in many exe files on my D: and C: drives

Now I allways scan zip rar and afcourse exe files
